A few days before he went to Georgia

casion to speak of his alleged absent
mindclness. His friends, who say lie
intended to invite his fam ly and friends
to his wedding, but forgot to send out
the invitations, recall what he said

that the yolks and whites of eggs are i'm

TnE Supreme Court OF Washington
T5-sitory has declared the woman suf-
fragc act of that territory to be '%'uneon-
stitutioual.' In view or the Glct that it
does not appear possible to say that such
an act is in conflict with the constitution
of the United States, it is somewhat diff
fcult to see what is meant by saying that
the act is unconstitutional. A territory
has ne constitution. But whatever crili-
cism of this kind may be made against
the decision, the supreme court has de-
stroyed the validity of the act, and hence
forth the women OF Washington will not
vote. -Dmper Republican.

The remedy for the crisis in IRISH
agrarian affairs will be found not in an
increased stringency of criminal procedure
or in the pursuit Of such novel, doubtful

needs and secure the confidence Of the
